If I have a list of relays that each have setting on whether to post/fetch/search, why do we suddenly need an inbox, and outbox, a DM relay, a search relay and so forth? Why can't the software just use the existing list?
If your client does not use Outbox model yet, please go to https://metadata.nostr.com/, click relays and set it up.
Without that setting, Outbox clients cannot find your posts. Your follows won't find you.
Tips:
- You only need a maximum of 4 relays in that list.
- Mark as "Write" the relays that have all content written and signed by you.
- Mark as "Read" the public relays that you want your follows to use when sending notifications to you.
That's all you need to do.

Because they dont do the same thing. If you want privacy, you want to use the DM relay list, otherwise all of your DM travel through public relays.
Each section has its own benefits. The old main list is a dumb way of using nostr.
That definitely needs more explanation.
Also the low numbers of relays that are sugested.
The LN and networks in general are clearly scaling better with more nodes.
So such things need a wider and appropriate research article, to test and explain why all the sudden basic network facts do not apply in a specific network.
I just did an update froman VERY old version. It was not too difficult to fill my list with defaults but why do I need to do such a complex thing in order for it to work at all?
I'd prefer to do it the dumb way over have it broken.
I'm not even sure anyone can read me.
Hi Sattler, I can read you. Is Waldorf doing well?
